CMT has a 100 tooth 15". He can check dealers at their web site,
www.cmtusa.com.
Started to post this earlier and the thread got lost in the ether--combination
of my clumsy fingers and piss poor placement when I drug CMT up from the
depths.
Anyway, a quick note: Their blades are excellent.
Freud also has a 15" blade that is excellent. Again, the site,
www.freudtools.com, has a dealer locator.
